Operation 'Ura', Lala reveals details: The criminal group has also carried out assassinations in Durrës

News 24 journalist Klodjana Lala has revealed details regarding the "Bridge" operation conducted by SPAK and the Italian anti-mafia that issued 52 arrest warrants for a criminal group involved in drug trafficking from Ecuador to Albania and then to EU countries.

Lala emphasizes that the evidence was Nuredin Dumani's testimony and then the observations of the Italian anti-mafia, which revealed 30 episodes of drug trafficking, as the money was given on a green bus that circulated in Durrës.

"Cocaine trafficking from Latin America to the EU, it has to do with money laundering. It involves a large amount of money. One of the companies is also a television station in Vlora. There are also police officers involved. They were officers on duty when the criminal offenses were committed. The lawyer was a member of the municipal council in Durrës. Altin Morina is a member of the criminal group, the operative has corruption cases, he was at the border. SPAK had him in its hands, based on the testimony of Nuredin Dumani. Cross-referencing it with the Sky Ec application and field observations. The group is based in Durrës. We are talking about important characters. There are several companies in sequestration."

Lala further provided details about how the group laundered drug money through various companies, including a local television station in the city of Vlora.

"Local television in Vlora, it turns out that the financial activity stems from criminal trafficking. There are other characters with an active role. We are talking about characters, the well-known Nerjaku, names that I know as a chronicle journalist. Ervis Dedi turns out to be the Achilles' heel. A criminal group cannot be successful if it does not have money laundering. There is an argument in this whole story.

The drug trafficking money came through the transport line, there is a green bus from the footage that passes through the middle of the city. There are 30 episodes of cocaine and heroin trafficking, with footage, the money is counted. The money at one point is set in numbers.

"It's also old money. It came through the passenger line and was invested in these companies. It's about a transport company in the city of Fier. The money came this way and was invested. The criminal group went as far as investing in cryptocurrencies."

Among the arrest warrants was the name of Elvis Doçi, or Visit i Pojës as he is known in Durrës.

"Among all of them, look at which package is exactly divided according to criminal groups. At the Durrës base, Elvis Doçi was seized a month and a half ago, a large sum of money. At that time, it was related to an action by several criminal groups."

Doç's group emphasizes that Lala has been operating in drug trafficking for a long time.

" You have data regarding drug codes. Doç's group has been operating in drug trafficking for a long time. At least 2-0 years. 30 episodes of drug and cocaine trafficking have been documented. It was a joint effort, fantastic I would say.

Behind every episode there is money, quantities of drugs, expensive jewelry. It's all complete. What we have to say, this criminal group is not a criminal group limited to drug trafficking. But also in criminal activity, in assassinations in the city of Durrës. I think that this investigation is only lifting the veil on all criminal activity, which will take a long time. If you listen to the prosecutor, one of the exponents had the American DEA on the wire.

"Investigations are ongoing into other persons suspected of involvement."
